A Lilit Poem - Hark
HARK
~~~~~
Hark! The world, it cries!
Cries for all of life!
Life without nature can't
exist. A plan, a fact, yes.
No need for man, maybe? No!
I'd go for that, let us all agree!
Agree, no lies, please.
Please let's get this right!
Right, for nature now depends
Yes! Every creature, yes!
And every plant form, all!
All of nature back to perfect norm!

The Lilit is:
Stanzaic, alternating Raay couplets with Kloang quatrains.
Syllabic, the couplets are 5 syllable lines and the quatrains are L1-L3 7 syllable lines and L4 is a 9 syllable line.
Couplets composed with a chain, linking the lines of the couplet and linking the stanzas.
Rhymed, composed with cross, interlaced and end rhyme.
For more info use the link, however, you will find that the info and the example contradict each other. My shot at it is based on the above criteria. The italics in first 2 stanzas show the rhyming, not an easy form, hopefully, my next attempt will be better, and will follow the format in the example. The link:
